IndoorDame haha, I googled it too, and looked at all the pretty pictures 😂😂😂 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I wanted to snatch the letters out of their hands! Future generations would be so interested! 😂 2y

Morr_Books Hmmm...thinking of burning some old letters myself. Is it safe to assume that Poor Peter is the next male victim? 2y

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I feel like the odds are against him, poor kid! 2y

Bookwormjillk Poor Peter. I guess we‘ll find out about him tomorrow. 2y

willaful It would be nice to think that Poor Peter simply eloped with some Dreadful Hussy, but the way things have been going, what are the odds? 😂

I know that picture! I used to have paperdolls from Godey's Lady's Book put out by Dover. https://www.amazon.com/Fashion-Paper-Godeys-1840-1854-Victorian/dp/0486235114 Never liked that dress!

dabbe @IndoorDame Me, too! I found an evening gown that Lady Bird Johnson wore! 🤣 2y

Ruthiella I thought the parsimony about candles was funny and accurate. I live alone but when I have guests, I have to remember to turn on the heat because I am stingy about my gas bill! 😂 In the winter, I just walk around like an idiot inside with a hat and scarf. 2y

mcctrish Each chapter is nuts, this one starting off with envelopes and string, logically moving on to candles #internationalblindmansholiday sounds SO FUN!!! Celebrated with the #burningoftheletters 😳 every time I read ‘paduasoy‘ I was thinking “is she talking about Peau de Soie? And yes 👍🏻 I guess she was (edited) 2y

TheBookHippie @willaful I have the coloring book! 2y

rubyslippersreads I found it sad to burn the letters, although I guess there were no descendants to pass them on to. 2y

willaful @rubyslipperreads It was very sad for me, because I sometimes think about how all the things that were so special to my husband and I will be meaningless and worthless when we're gone. 😭 #waytobringdownthemood #dramaticmuch

@TheBookHippie do you ever color it or is it just for looking? 2y

TheBookHippie @willaful I color ! Anxiety relief! 2y

willaful @TheBookHippie I always preferred abstract coloring. When I was recovering from surgery my mom bought me this: https://store.doverpublications.com/0486803538.html

And these books got me through my childhood: https://www.etsy.com/listing/175227344/more-altair-design-by-ensor-holiday-1974 2y

BarkingMadRead @willaful I love coloring books like that! 2y
